I've been searching for an official explanation and not seeing anything yet.
But twitter seems to indicate that the official lined her up wrong. Apparently the official lined up 2 others wrong in the next heat as well and it was corrected seconds before the exchange but obviously didn't get corrected in race for the US.
Seems weird but makes me happy for our relay team.
